SOLUTION: Triangle ABC is isosceles with vertex A: the measure of angle A is 32 degrees, find the measure of angles b and c

Question 832501: Triangle ABC is isosceles with vertex A: the measure of angle A is 32 degrees, find the measure of angles b and c
Answer by neatmath(302) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Every (Euclidean) triangle has an angle sum of 180 degrees.

If angle A is 32 degrees, then the sum of angles B & C will be

Since we know this is an isosceles triangle,

the 2 non-vertex angles must be equal in angle measure.

So

Thus angles B and C each have an angle measure of 74 degrees.

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
